Ihe crop prospects are very fatts-,.
this county, and it is we'll tbat II %
with short crop of corn, speckIsi '.'
and red slick potatoes, together witt n.
number OF candidates now on hand -
| Gee" Berry TO hear froml the co1,..9
ruined beyond all question. Jp.l lii.s
aboutit. First, there is George Iob,s-.
candidate for Representative mo-,
| good, clever man, by the wav AMI
doubt would make good representa-.
| Any body can look at him and ses IT,.
nothing small about him. Nerf 80
W. +. Dickson, another clever fellow ~
is running "agin" Johnson. He g.
electioneerer, and the man that beats ap,,s
Dickson will represent the county. M
A. Barron comes next, as clever a youug
man as there Is ia the county-well ap,Is

the people could make no mistake b, -.

they are all clever fellows | never =
candidate that wasn't Mr.. A. o Ma !
a candidate for reelection 10 the off,. "a
| Circuit and Chancery Clerk. He bq.n.
| opponent, and don't suppose will bsy.
| Next comes the candidates for Sbe-.F-
what shall | say Of them Mr.. ]. r
Bush, the present incumbent, is a go.
| Christian gentleman, and for ought | SB-.
makes a good officer; still he has son,
very strong opposition, but from yhst
| cause | am unable to say. Mr.. $. J. Nc.
| Bride is one of Mr.. Bush's opponents.
| jeff. is an old "war boss" and viii IL
hard to "curry" when the votes are count
| ed. Mcbride made an excellent soldier
and lost an arm while bearing the Gao II
the 10th Mississippi Regiment Bat !
came very nearly leaving Andrew Howell
out. / didn't intend to DO so, bat there
are so many of them it il hard to remem.
Der them all. Andrew Is in the race, and
somebody will find it out, too Next On
the list Is John Dent. Well, I'll tell you
about John he was elected two terms a.
| member of the Board of Supervisors, and
| don't think the county ever had a bette
one, and if he makes good Supervise
why not make a good Sheriff? JohD-RiI
make it pretty lively for them and don
you forget it. For County Treasurer VI
have, first, DR.. Funchess, who has made d
a good officer for number OF years, ba
| there are some who believe in rotation
| and If lunches is rotated out perhaps
they might be rotated in. Rev. Henry K
Farmer, a Baptist minister, is one Of ID,
Doctors opponents, and if he defeats To,
old man he will have to rise early and
work late. Mr.. I. NJ. Berry is another
one of Funchess' opponents, and il the
big meeting will only continue he will b
| elected. Mr. j as. II. Thompson is the can
didate for County Assessor. jim. ThomP
son was elected two years ago, and has
made good Assessor, and don't believe
the people will make any change 10 thi
Office, for this term at least. The csnl.
dates for Surveyor are l.. A. McCasklIl an.
d. L. McLaurin, either one OF whom vii
make a good Surveyor the people can
not make any mistake in this Office.
There are some other prospective candi
dates, but as they have not fully announe,
| will not mention their names. Every
thing points to quiet and pesceable cleo
ton. There is no ism except prohibition
and that, it occurs to me, is already sei
tied by the enactment of the local oplol
law. L am taking no stock. Any Of tn
candidates would make good officers
regard them all "a good, honest and CON
petent men. 0. PHOGY.
